[. . . ] However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The static routes allow you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
Figure 5-5 Sample Static Routing Topology Configuration Step 1. To configure an IP static route, use Menu 12 Static Route Setup (shown next).

FIELD Destination IP Address DESCRIPTION This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255. 255. 255. 255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. Metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

Chapter 6 Bridging Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure the bridging parameters of your Prestige.
6. 1
Bridging in General
Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while routing does it on the network layer (IP) address. Bridging allows the Prestige to transport packets of network layer protocols that it does not route, for example, SNA, from one network to another. The caveat is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the same network layer protocol, and it also demands more CPU cycles and memory. For efficiency reasons, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than IP on your network. For IP, enable the routing if you need it; do not bridge what the Prestige can route.
6. 2
Bridge Ethernet Setup
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN.
